:o :o :o Yeah it's a derby, but not everyone reads the "Say anything" thread ;D Title: Re: Close call Post by: DucDodgers on September 01, 2011, 01:00:51 PM I'm a trained lip reading professional; he said, "Goddam, I crapped my pants."
Title: Re: Close call Post by: MonsterInDark on September 01, 2011, 01:19:30 PM All i can say is :o WOW! your so lucky! what was the situation on that road that lead to that? there wasnt another car there to pass....i guess i just dont understand why the truck came over into your lane...?
Title: Re: Close call Post by: zarn02 on September 01, 2011, 02:08:57 PM That is about as close as you can get without actually touching. :-X
Title: Re: Close call Post by: justinrhenry on September 01, 2011, 02:23:10 PM are there even two lanes on that road?
Title: Re: Close call Post by: zarn02 on September 01, 2011, 02:42:57 PM are there even two lanes on that road? It looks like a rural road somewhere in the British Isles, so no, not really. [cheeky] Title: Re: Close call Post by: Drunken Monkey on September 01, 2011, 03:20:27 PM It looks like a rural road somewhere in the British Isles, so no, not really. [cheeky] Oz, actually. But good guess (what with the wrong side of the road and all that) Title: Re: Close call Post by: zarn02 on September 01, 2011, 03:40:07 PM Oz, actually. That does make the pickup-ish thing that almost hits him more explicable. Title: Re: Close call Post by: Hellraising-vtec on September 01, 2011, 04:12:29 PM damnnnnn :o
Title: Re: Close call Post by: scduc on September 01, 2011, 05:43:12 PM I have nightmares about head-ons. I honestley think that that is the way I'm gonna go. Love the twisties [evil]
Title: Re: Close call Post by: AJ on September 01, 2011, 07:32:48 PM :o
SCHEISSE! Title: Re: Close call Post by: thought on September 01, 2011, 07:35:57 PM that's scary as hell
Title: Re: Close call Post by: matt922 on September 01, 2011, 08:04:16 PM i want to see the part of the video where the guy catches back up with them...
Title: Re: Close call Post by: Buckethead on September 01, 2011, 08:07:53 PM Luckiest.
Pillion. Ever. Title: Re: Close call Post by: IZ on September 01, 2011, 11:38:54 PM :o
Title: Re: Close call Post by: DucHead on September 02, 2011, 03:34:09 AM I LOVE SUVs!! Not.
Gigantic, gas guzzling, carrying only the driver but with room for 8, impossible to see around, driven by someone who 98% of the time is on the phone, make the beast with two backsin' tanks.

(http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d147/pompino/biggun.gif) What's that have to do with anything? He was almost hit by a pick-up (despite the video title).

If thats the way I'm giong to go, I'd rather it be a big ol' dump truck. Quick and easy. 4 wheels just dont a handle high speed curves like a race car. P.S. I drive a an Avalanche and I would not trade it for and death trap little car.
Title: Re: Close call Post by: R0CKETMAN on September 02, 2011, 04:44:46 PM Cool..happens to all of us at some point, but with different parameters. Bet it made the rest of the day sweeter.
Title: Re: Close call Post by: Howley on September 02, 2011, 06:03:54 PM Well technically since he is in Australia, he was almost hit by a dual cab ute.

Title: Re: Close call Post by: ducatiz on September 02, 2011, 06:43:24 PM What's that have to do with anything? He was almost hit by a pick-up (despite the video title). (http://i114.photobucket.com/albums/n258/JJGeo/closecall.jpg) If you look at the pic, you can see he was looking to the left instead of straight. Maybe if he was paying attention to the road he wouldn't have gotten into that pickle.. [evil] Title: Re: Close call Post by: DucHead on September 03, 2011, 05:24:06 AM What's that have to do with anything? He was almost hit by a pick-up (despite the video title). It has to do with my dislike of SUVs. [cheeky] Plus, that's not a pickup, its an SUV with a 3' bed. ;D Title: Re: Close call Post by: R0CKETMAN on September 03, 2011, 05:22:41 PM Maybe if he was paying attention to the road he wouldn't have gotten into that pickle.. [evil] Maybe you should try not flinching at 100mph plus closing speed brush [thumbsup] |
